I super appreciate this and think it’s all great advice! I can’t tell you HOW MANY “good premise but not for me” and “I’m afraid I’m going to step aside” emails I got from agents before I found my lovely agent Jacqui Lipton at TLA (Tobias Literary Agency)….. and then, after we went out on submission with the book, how many “this was interesting but I just wasn’t SWEPT AWAY ENOUGH” emails we got from editors before finding a press. It’s a very tough market, and the process, in a word, sucks. Keeping at it is heroic!
